(no subject)
So I set myself on fire yesterday.
No, I'm not really kidding, either. It's been an interesting two days...
Yesterday: was making tea. came out in my bathrobe to pour hot water into the cup with the tea bag in it. accidentally hit the edge of the burner with my sleeve, resulting in a yelp, a running to the sink, a sizzle, and a confused roommate who ran up. and was disbelieving (to say the least) until I showed her my sleeve.
Today: I accidentally set a loaf of bread aflame. ultimately, it came out fine, as did the rest of the dinner I made. But there were about 4 seconds after it came out of the oven where it was burning merrily away. still, dinner was good and the fire alarm didn't go off. so all is well in my world.
there are some stories to tell your parents. these are probably a bad choice.
really good dinner tonight (applewalnut salad, butternut squash soup, cheese bread/crouton, freshly made cake)... it made me happy. and I have yellow cake with chocolate icing right now.
and I have dance stuff at 10 tonight. because we're performing again tomorrow. and I get to worry (again) about being dropped on my head. *sigh* and it's at the really cool part of the dance. which I don't get to do, because I'm getting picked up and spun around. which isn't nearly as much fun as you'd think (mostly due to the fact that it takes abs that I don't have and there's always the potential for getting dropped.)
Might go out tomorrow night to the dance party on the other side of campus. Or I might watch the third Star Wars movie. We'll see.
Not really understanding why it's like 70 degrees here right now. It's rainy but still. Mid November in Hanover... what?
Too many people owe me phonecalls, and I owe lots of emails. Everything in my life is going well (and I have the world's coolest research project. SO excited). It's too good to last too long, but still. It's nice feeling happy again.
